Go see it!

I just got back from seeing Star Wars Episode III and all I can say is if you are a Star Wars fan in any way, go see this film. It is an amazing film in and of itself. But if you are a Star Wars fan this film makes all the others make sense. It completes the saga and now watching all six episodes in order will truly tell the tale of the Skywalker clan.

Why do people become evil? What drives us to do despicable things? How can anyone be in a position of power and not give in to corruption? What would you do to save the ones you love? Can one deal in absolutes and if you don't, if things aren't black and white, how do you decide what is right and what is wrong? When do people become dispensable?

The beauty of a story like Star Wars is that it makes you think about these things while marveling at the incredible special effects that give you amazing space battles and kick ass lightsaber fights.

So go, see it and see for yourself. Then we can discuss why the best thing about this movie is that you can see that 8 year old Anakin in the man who cries after killing a room full of people. That man thinks he can use his power to destroy and then when the time is right he can make it all right again. Only you can never go back. A lesson learned too late and a lesson that cost too much. Just go see the damn movie. I promise you it will be worth it.
